Author: KESSLER, SUZANNE JTitle: Lessons from the Intersexed
Description: U S A, Rutgers University. 2000, Re-Issue. (ISBN: 0813525306) Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Focusing on intersexuality - having physical gender markers that are neither female or male - the author examines the social institutions that are mobilized to maintain the two seemingly objective sexual categories. She argues that we need to re-think the meaning of gender, genitals and sexuality. nterviews with pediatric surgeons and endocrinologists as well as parents of intersexed children and adults who were treated for this condition in childhood lead Kessler to propose several new approaches for physicians in dealing with parents and children.
